The University of Alabama
Chi Alpha is a National Movement on hundreds of Universities across the United States. We get our name from the first greek letters of Christou Apostoloi which translates to Christ’s Ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20).

Alabama Chi Alpha is led by a team of U.S. Missionaries to university campuses. Each member of our team is ordained by the Assemblies of God, and has a passion to see university students come to know God and walk with Him as devoted followers for the rest of their lives. You can find out more about each of us below!
And yes. Caleb is holding up a half- eaten ice cream cone.
All Alabama Chi Alpha staff are U.S. Missionaries who are independently funded by the financial contributions of individuals, churches and businesses who want to partner with the mission on campus. If you would like to give to the Cormiers, you can do so at giving.ag.org
Koby & Grace Cormier
Campus Pastors
Koby and Grace are originally from Atlanta and Houston, respectively, and they met here at UA while in Chi Alpha as students! In Spring of 2020, they got married, graduated, and started serving as full-time XA missionaries. They started serving as the directors of Alabama Chi Alpha in 2024.
Although they both grew up in church, it was in Chi Alpha at UA that Koby discovered true brotherhood that would not allow him to stay stagnant in his faith, and Grace found sisters who fought to intimately know her and teach her how to both receive love as well as truly love both God and people. This kind of discipleship impacted them so greatly that they've dedicated their lives to making lifelong disciples of Jesus, and there's no where they'd rather do that more than at UA - Roll Tide!
Nothing makes Koby’s day like a morning spent reading with a flat white in hand before he leaves for an outdoor adventure, and Grace is thrilled when she gets to create anything fun- from baking to home improvement to gardening- to share with her friends. They have a 2 year old daughter, Clementine, who is one of the sweetest, most fun kids you'll ever meet. Come say hi if you see her on campus! As a family, they love exploring cities, eating international food, and cooking for their friends, so they’d love to have you over for dinner soon!

Will Einhorn
Career Missionary Staff
Will is originally from New Jersey, but moved to Virginia where he attended Longwood University. Before college, he didn't know God. During his freshman year, two friends invited him to Chi Alpha, and since then his life has been dramatically transformed. He saw the way students worshipped and lived for God, and it changed him forever.
After graduating with a degree in history education, he moved to Auburn, AL for a Chi Alpha internship. He has served full-time at The University of Alabama since 2014.
Will is probably the most serious coffee drinker you will ever meet, loves to read and study theology, and enjoys cooking. In fact, he would love to cook you dinner sometime, which is great because then you would get to hang out his amazing wife Amanda and beautiful daughters Michele, Hannah, and Faith.
Caleb Dayer
Career Missionary Staff
Caleb is originally from Conway, Arkansas and grew up hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, and playing all kinds of sports. In college, he pursued a career in the medical field with the intention of helping people physically, but the Lord had greater plans for him.
In his junior year of college, Jesus changed his heart and from then on he has pursued knowing Him and making Him known. Caleb has served with Chi Alpha since 2015 because he believes Jesus' model of discipleship changes lives!
Caleb is married to the most beautiful woman in the world, Lizzy, and they have two sons: Wake and Merit! They both love Jesus so much and wouldn’t be here without Him!
